I'm selling services using other companies' technologies, say, repairing Mac notebooks. Is it legal to put up their bitten apple logo on my website? Please advise or point me to relevant online resources.

My wife and I need to set up wills, guardianship for our children if we die, etc... Lawyers will do this for us for $650.00! Right now that is just too much money for us. Are cheap forms that are found online can actually be legally binding? If so, I would like to fill them out just for now. (Later on, when we have money I would like the go thru the lawyer just to be on the safe side)

I live in the UK. Own my house outright (no mortgage) If I met a man I loved and moved him into the house, can he try and claim half of it after a certain amount of time? (I would be sure that he didn't offer to pay for an extension/conservatory. ) The bills would be in my name, etc. And I could prove that I bought it!
It is registered with the Land Registry in my sole name, and I would never allow anybody to take loans out against my property.
I would hate to think that somebody could just walk in and decide to take me for everything I own!

My friend was named a joint beneficiary of a will. The two children of the deceased person then challanged the will as (seeing as though they had disowned their parent) they had only been allocated a small sum, whilst my friend and the executor where to recieve a substancial amount ( all from the sale of the property). The executor has been handling the legal side (of the challange by the children of the deceased person) but unfortunately does not speak or understand English very well. Somehow he agreed and signed a document handing the majority of the property $$ over to the children (of the deceased person) but thought what he was doing was agreeing and signing that he and my friend were to recieve this majority.He and my friend have now been allocated a token amount from the settlement, similar to that which the children were first allocated. Does my friend have any legal opportunity to stop/overturn this recent oversight? Can you challange a prior challange on a will?

You can sue someone for almost anything these days, so here's a hypothetical question.
You invite loads of kids to a birthday party at your house. One of them is behaving badly, running round wrecking the joint, then slips on a cream-cake he threw at the cat. He's hurt - and the parents need time off work to nurse his concussion.
Are you, the house-holder to blame? Or can you counter-sue for wrecking your property?

would it be considered illegal search if the police pull you over for no reason and make you take a sobriety test? now, remeber i said "no reason". you werent swerving, or driving erradicaly ect... now, if that would be a violation, or illegal search. then wouldnt sobriety checks (stops) be illegal too? just because everyones rights are bieng violated does'nt make it right. I want you to understand i'm not condoning drunk driving. But just because something is wrong doent give the authorities the right to do whatever they want. consider airport security and their "random searches". I think people in this county are quick to give up rights and freedoms just to feel safe. anyway now im starting to veer of subject, the origanal question is what i would like to have answered, the little rant was just so you have a frame of refrence of where i am coming from. i'll leave the best answer up to a vote.

it is on state property so does that make a difference. We applied for a permit for him to play publically but was told he did not need one. As long as he is on public property he is allowed to play wherever he wants. well isn't state property considered public property.
